74 - Bl. Carlo Acutis: An ordinary teenager who became a saint

Crash Course Catholicism

Pope Francis has just announced that Blessed Carlo Acutis is going to be the first millenial saint. Carlo Acutis was an ordinary teenager who died suddenly at the age of 15. He was known for his love of God, and in particular for his love for Jesus Christ, truly present in the Eucharist. Carlo loved soccer, animals, nutella, gaming, and coding. His exhibition on Eucharistic miracles is still touring the world, and his website is still available today.
In this episode, we discuss the life of Carlo Acutis, as part of our two-part series on Eucharistic miracles.
